Ms A Padmavathi Principal
Kendriya Vidyalaya Mankhurd,Mumbai
1. To instill innovation in Science, Mathematics and
Technology teaching
2. To kindle interest and aptitude through enquiry
based learning
3. To nurture and nourish Scientific aptitude
4. To create curiosity and probing nature
Current practices at School Levelz
Activity based teaching
The concepts are made clear by involving the children to experiment and explore through structured activities.
Example: The concept of Acids and Bases is introduced with the real life commodities. Children after introducing the basic idea of acids and bases are asked to collect samples, check the acid/base nature with the help of litmus paper provided to them. This type of activities create curiosity and excitement and bring real life close to school activities.
Current practices at School Level
Experiment based teaching creates curiosity
The Science laboratories help to promote observation,
analytical thinking and capacity to draw inferences from
their observations.
Simple experiments in Physics , Chemistry and Biology
are shown in the class rooms and allow the students to
perform. The observations will be recorded by them
and finally draw conclusion by themselves.
Example: Experiment to prove laws of reflection, time
period of oscillatory motion etc.
Current practices at School Level
Participation in Science and Mathematics exhibitions
Involves children in creating static and working
models
Various concepts in Physics,Chemistry,Biology and
Mathematics will be explained through models.
Exposure to such activities will broaden the
understanding of the children
Current practices at School Level
Science projects under Children Science congress
Gives them to research on a theme ,make observations and conclude.The process of writing the report and presentation of the topic makes them understand in a comphrehensive manner.
Focal theme : Understanding Weather and Climate
Sub themes:
1Weather around you
2Weather and Climate-Impact of human activities
3Weather and climate-Ecosystems
4Weather and climate-Society & culture
5Weather and climate-Agriculture
6Weather and climate-Health
Current practices at School Level
Investigatory projects
It is a part of the curriculum in Class XI and XII
Small objectives are chosen which are related to the
topics taught in Theory. Simple experiments are
conduted by the students in the laboratory and analyse
the obserations and make conclusions
Example.Finding the functional groups in various food
items
Detecting adulteration in food etc
Current practices at School Level
Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research
Students are given opportunity to explore and design
new models on their own
Kumari Ankita Patra of Class X prepared a model which
was selected for the INSPIRE award at the National
level.She prepared a smallworking model to produce
electricity from the speed breakers.
Current practices at School Level
Rigorous induction training for new appointees
Gives understanding of the objectives of School
teaching. This is being done in KVS on a regular basis
for new recruits in the form of in-service course.
Current practices at School Level
Regular on the job training
This is also imparted in KVS regularly to the teachers of
all subjects in the form of workshops, Inservice courses
and short term training.
Current practices at School Level
The Teacher: Pupil ratio to be reduced to 1:20
Teachers should know their students well. Display
sincere interest in their lives. They should be able to
correlate with the lifestyle at home.
Coordinating House and School environment
School and home should not be separate worlds
Give scope to the child to interact with the
environment
Current practices at School Level
Teacher professional development. Quality of a school
cannot exceed the quality of its teachers.
Teacher to be given more autonomy within limits.
Avoid strict rules and give freedom to explore
Quality of teachers will improve by Training, giving
incentives, giving certain amount of autonomy,
providing resources, freedom to use resources
Current practices at School Level
In the secondary classes, separate teachers to teach
Physics, Chemistry and Biology would be helpful rather
than having integrated Science teachers
To quench the thirst of knowledge of a child it would
be necessary for the teacher to have higher level of
knowledge. Specialists in Physics, Chemistry and
Biology alone can do justice compared to a single
teacher teaching all the subjects.
Current practices at School Level
Information technology and social media to play key role
Use of new techniques in class room transactions without
using formal textbooks , syllabus & examinations.
To implement Case study based education which involves
students to gather and share information which increases
inquisitiveness in the students
Activities that inculcate creativity among students to be
included.
Presentations ,role-play, which will tickle the curiosity, and
create passion for knowledge to be part of learning.
Current practices at School Level
Build the capacity in a child
To question
To probe
To think
To discuss
To analyse
To draw inference
To conclude
To unlearn
THANK YOU
